Hi Steven Only just got around to catching up on the ECOL-LOG posts, so you may already have your perfect GPS solution by now. I'm no expert on these devices, only used an add-on GPS card for a couple of Handheld and Pocket PC devices, but how about buying an extra battery to get around the low charge issue? I bought an extended life battery for my Pocket PC as the original only allowed 1-2 hours of GPS tracking. Now I can get about 8 hours of tracking.
